What exactly is the difference between a surge protector and a fuse? Can a fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of surge protector?

Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).

This device then solves the entire problem.

Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.

What is lightning?

Why would my husband cheat on me with an ugly fat woman?

the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.

Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.

Why is the French way to say please is "S'il te plaît" and not "Pour Favour" like Spanish and Portuguese "Per Favor" and Italian "Per Favore" in the Romance languages group?

OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.

But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Once the voltage goes over 0.0650 volts, then this fact can be used to amplify the difference, and turn the circuit breaker off , furthur down the line. Essentially that is what a RCD/GFCI does, it compares the incoming current, to the outgoing current, and if the difference between the two currents is over 5mA, then it trips the circuit breaker.

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.

It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.

It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.

I post the exact comment here.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.

This is an electronic circuit designed to clamp voltages so that the Voltage Potential that appears at the outlet is never going to exceed the nominal value.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.

These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".

This is a high voltage low current spike that comes down the line because of the power poles being struck, and the voltage suppressors activating on the primary side of the transformer.

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.

The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.

[image of Common-mode choke]

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.

Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.

So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.

First Sentence:

For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).

At the secondary, it is 1000 times less.)turns ratio). If it gets hit with a 100,000 volt bolt of lightning then the voltage arrestors conduct and clamp the voltage down to line voltage, ( but a small amount leaks down the line). This is the problem.

So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.

But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).

The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.

There are two important concepts here.

The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”

Lightning arrestor is a spark-gap device, and can be installed anywhere. What is important, is that the wire is thick enough to withstand the lightning bolt and conduct the energy away from the building.

One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Upvotes:

but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

This one hit behind the barn.

so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

There is no harm in having the surge suppressor along with the fuse in the circuit. The fuse will not open up until the current melts the link. This will take time, and in the interim, that jolt will get transmitted into the power supplies.
